Christian Harper has his perfect future mapped out: thriving career, beautiful fiancée and a wedding weeks away. But after a drunken bachelor party, he wakes with scratches, hickeys and a gut-deep fear something happened he can't remember. There were no women at the party. That much is certain. Then he sees matching marks on someone else: Oliver Winters-his fiancée's charming, magnetic younger brother. As Christian digs for the truth, he's caught between guilt, desire and a growing pull he can't explain. What really happened that night? And what does it mean for the life he's built on certainty? Torn between the future he promised and a truth he never expected, Christian must face the possibility that his biggest mistake wasn't a mistake at all. #1 in Gay #10 in Affair #5 in boyxboy #5 in lgbtq+ #10 in mxm #1 in Straight guy

He's the future valedictorian, prom king candidate, and secretly... dead inside. Dax Drew Raven smokes behind the school, ditches class, and has a punch record longer than his attention span.

When they're forced to team up for a senior "Journey of Identity" project-thanks, sadistic Ms. Vesper-Ash plans to power through. But Dax? He plans to ruin the golden boy's perfect little world. What neither of them expects is the tension. The heat. The hate that starts tasting like want. One kiss leads to a secret. One bed leads to a mess. And one mistake might ruin them both. Enemies make the best lovers. Until the world finds out. ⚠️ This book contains: intense angst, smutty scenes, questionable library behavior, emotional gut punches, and two dumb boys falling hard when they shouldn't.

Mavin Keller has a plan: survive senior year, save for college, and never let anyone close again, until Sonnie Hale walks into his life. *** Mavin spends his days counting down the moments until he can finally leave his town behind, working long shifts and coming home to a house that never feels like home. He's learned to keep his head down and his heart quiet. But then he meets Sonnie - the boy with too much light in his eyes and bruises on his skin. After Mavin steps in to stop a group of bullies, he doesn't expect Sonnie to start showing up everywhere - in the hallways, after class, even online. What begins as awkward avoidance turns into late-night laughter, small rebellions, and a friendship that could bloom into something more. Something Sonnie wants. But Mavin is wary, because his past isn't done with him, especially Jaxx, the boy he once loved, the one who left him shattered. When old wounds resurface and truths come to light, Mavin must choose between staying safe in the dark or reaching for the boy who might finally make him feel seen.

[COMPLETED] [2025 Wattys Honorable Mention] Danny's neighbor should be illegal. There's no way someone should be that attractive. They've lived next door to each other for over a year. As a skinny, clumsy, sweater-loving, Modern Poetry professor, Danny never believed someone like him could catch the eye of someone as perfect as Brett. But when Danny (accidentally) RSVPs to a destination wedding he never wanted to attend, he realizes he's in a bind-he needs a plus-one. And somehow, Brett becomes his unexpected solution. Brett's MMA career was on the brink of greatness until an injury stopped him cold. Now, trying to reclaim his spot in the octagon and live up to heavy expectations, the last thing Brett expected was to build a friendship with the neighbor he's been crushing on. However, Danny is undeniably gorgeous and way out of his league, so he needs to maintain realistic expectations. But, when Danny needs a date for a destination wedding, Brett's first instinct is to offer his help. Being his fake boyfriend would not be a hardship. A romantic beach, a fake relationship, and one bed... what could go wrong? Genre: Contemporary Romance / Fake Relationship / Friends to Love / HEA Guaranteed / Dual POV There will be mature scenes between two men that I will mark accordingly. These scenes are intended for mature audiences. This is a spin-off of the worlds of King of Hawkings/Death & Tequila and A New Song/Beats of the Heart, but it is a stand-alone novel, so reading the other novels is unnecessary. However, some old characters will appear, so you may enjoy it more with the full background.

Eli Tanaka doesn't have time for distractions. Focused, guarded, and brutally competitive, he's fighting for a future - on the field and beyond. The only thing getting in his way is Luca Moreno: loud, reckless, infuriatingly charming... and very, very off-limits. They play on the same soccer team. They have everything to lose. So when a late-night mistake turns into something they can't stop, Eli makes one rule - nobody can know. But keeping secrets gets dangerous. Especially when Luca starts looking at him like he means more than a hookup. Especially when the world - and the team - start watching. This is not a love story. Not yet. It's a game of obsession, touches that don't make it into stats, and the thrill of wanting something you're not supposed to have. ⸻ Told in first-person POV from Eli Tanaka ⚠️ This story contains spicy content, language, and emotional themes.
